OK so there are no good rpm versions, so I have to compile from tar balls. I've just spent 2 hours reading all the bumf on Mplayer website, and I must say there is so much of it it is hard to take it all in in one hit. It seems to me leaving aside esotyeric things like skins, there is only the one MPlayer-0.90pre5.tar.bz file to compile and install. Does this actually mean it's all there, you know, encription, conversion, etc etc, the bits that really do matter and make the programme all it is,because it seems a small download for a tar file and for there to be everything that you might conceiveably want. As I say I'm not particularly interested in sky blue pink graphics but I do want all the really important encription conversion stuff,(eg. DVD to DivX) and preferably in a gui guise.
